Province putting in funds to fight repeat violent offenders in Nanaimo

A dozen new regional hubs where police, prosecutors and probation officers work together to tackle repeat violent offenders will operate around the province starting next month, Premier David Eby said Wednesday. Hubs will be located in Nanaimo and Victoria, along with Vancouver, Surrey, New Westminster, Abbotsford, Kamloops, Kelowna, Cranbrook, Williams Lake, Prince George and Terrace.

In addition, a new Special Investigation and Targeted Enforcement program will have $16 million in funding over three years for investigations of cases involving repeat violent offenders, and to improve information-sharing between police agencies. A group of about 50 Nanaimo residents greeted the provincial officials with signs expressing their frustration: “Fed up victims,” “Keep in custody,” and “Jail violent offenders.”

“I heard a commitment this morning from the premier, which I gratefully accept on behalf of the city, that this government will work with the city to ensure that not only our streets are safe, that our citizens are health and protected and cared for…”

They must provide lawful police and jailers. Blame Farnworth and Co for the catch and release in BC!
